Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The micro-sporangium produces the pollen grains. Is the micro-sporangium haploid or diploid?
A
haploid
B
diploid
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microsporogenesis produces pollen grains. The microsporangium’s diploid pollen mother cells divide via meiosis to produce four haploid microspores or microspore tetrads. After dissociating from one another, microspores mature into haploid pollen grains.

Detailed explanation-2: -These tissues are composed of microsporocytes, which are diploid cells capable of undergoing meiosis to form a tetrad (four joined cells) of haploid microspores.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microspore mother cell (microsporocyte) is a diploid cell in plants that divide by meiosis to give rise to four haploid microspores. In flowering plants, mother cells are formed within the pollen sacs of the anthers. By the process of mitosis, the microspores they produce develop into pollen grains.
